Cool story, bro (work related)

  • justincredible
    One of our clients wanted to fax us something this morning. We told her our fax machine is broken but we just don't have one hooked up anymore because we'd always get stupid shit (like the time some dumbass faxed us their resume). Anyway, she must've really thought we needed this document because she couriered it to us, ALONG WITH A FAX MACHINE, a few hours later. To make the story better, my boss did a google search and found the exact same document online. WTF?

    I don't agree. That wasn't a cool story at all, bro.

    Send her a fax page back, with a dead fish in it.

    Fax machines are fucking pointless.

    Just goes to show you how obsolete fax machines have become if they sent one to you. We rarely use ours at work. Everything (mostly sending resumes to employers) is done via e-mail.

    This. I've sent 2 in my life, and I have no idea why they wouldn't just take a goddamn email.

    Of course I was dealing with an agency of the State of Ohio, and 20 years behind is just how we roll.

    I'm betting a nuclear hollocaust couldn't interrupt that.

    It's pretty funny if you've ever had a job dealing with ridiculous clients. I take it you've never had that experience, so no big deal.
